I don't really want to take out the Sun Titan, and I think 4 Snapcaster Mages are a bit much. I'd rather drop the Titans for a Wurmcoil and a Snapcaster, if I can get my hands on them, or more counters. I really like the Talismans too, they are great for giving durability against aggro decks and to pump out more cats or draw more cards of the Zeniths. They are also better than Wurmcoil against Delver/Spirits because of Vapor Snag.

Thanks for the suggestions though :)

The Talismans are a great sleeper in this deck. They may seem innocuous to your opponents, but you being a control deck, the Talismans will help you pull away with an ever increasing life total, and the mana support to boot. I like the idea of Sun Titans being able to recur your ratchet bombs over and over too. Like the deck and +1 from me. :)

Sun Titan can also bring back Snapcaster Mage which is pretty legit.he swings, you bring back your snappy, flash something back and then you've got a nice chump blocker to do it all again

I have to say, I really do like this design, and I've been an esper and azorius player for a long time. Props, man. +1 well deserved.

Thank you! :)

so how well does this play in a competitive setting? IQ's and what not..

Don't really know yet. I've tried some very different variations of the deck earlier and it did fairly well.

I'm going to try it out at the local tournament today, probably going to end up running 3x Lingering Souls with -1 Druidic Satchel, but we'll see. Still think the deck needs a lot of work, but we'll see how it does today and work from there.

What do you mean by IQ?

Against aggro, Black Sun's Zenith or Killing Wave should help quite a bit

I think I'll definitely pick up a few copies of Black Sun's Zenith. Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm going to update it later with Avacyn Restored cards, just haven't been bothered to do it so far.

As for BSZ: Don't think I want to run it, it means changing my mana base heavily and I don't really need it.
